McFarlane introduces King Air drain valve

By General Aviation News Staff · June 28, 2016 ·

BALDWIN CITY, Kansas — McFarlane Aviation Products now offers a fuel drain valve for the Beechcraft King Air.

The new McFarlane valve features an updated seal design, Teflon-lined conduit and stainless steel cable, and includes a 10-year warranty.

Only McFarlane valves are repairable; Beechcraft valves do not have replaceable components, officials add.
